How can I create a Right to Left template?

How can I create Right to Left version of my current Left to Right template?

I want to create a template to handle Arabic.

Thanks.

Admin > Tools > Layout Boxes Controller : LEFT or RIGHT COLUMN

Whatever shows as in the LEFT COLUMN you can switch to RIGHT COLUMN.

That will take care of the Sidebox layout for you. As to the reading text from right to left, custom coding would be required.

Re: How can I create a Right to Left template?

A couple of months back someone posted a similar question regarding layout of the registration page for Hebrew (R to L). I can't recall who posted, or exactly when, but I advised that the first thing to do would be to align text to the right.

I'll see if I can track down that post and if I find it I'll come back here.

I have templates set for Arabic only. The sideboxes are the easy part, but this has to be template specific, not site wide affecting other templates.

I've also set all elements with float left to float right.
